bat and elph have probably seen enough of what’s usually bubbling under the surface of little sneaky pro-trumpy comments like that that they know better than to extend the benefit of the doubt

it’s not like we’re not all *******s to some degree though

Exactly, none of us are perfect and neither is Nea, I know that. I was objecting to the comparison to Merit

I liked Merit

He was weird and radical

A different breed than nea, that’s for sure

I like you too, nea

The only one I hate is everyone

I liked Merit too, until the whole ban drama. Tbf I hadn't seen much of his bad side before that.

I might not know the whole story

Incredible as that revaluation is

I really wish he was still here so I could see if he got Q pilled.

He probably is Q

That's true, but it's also indicative of the situation America finds itself in that this is a noteworthy plus for Biden and the Dems: that they have some respect for experts, science, democracy and reality. Until Trump and the abdication of GOP morality, you're right, it wasn't necessary to point those things out: it was a given that both political parties subscribed loosely to those ideals even if they lapsed occasionally.

Thanks Marie, you too. One of the coolest, fair-minded, well-meaning mods we have ever had on MB.

Considering that the incompetence of neoliberalism and its abandonment of the working class is what led to Trump then some neoliberal being neutral in comparison isn't reason for celebration cause Biden is just resetting the clock to the next right wing populist grifter who might end up being a much more competent psychopath.

This is all bad even if it feels like a reprieve. American democracy is just as crumbling and threatened as it was before Biden won the election. If Trump was Robespierre then Biden is the Thermidor reaction.
